Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is going to start training camp

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is going to start training camp early next week in the US. According to Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach the Filipino boxing champion will arrive in California next  to start training for his next bout. Boxing website Fighthype.com reported Saturday.

Pacquiao is set to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. on March 13 but this fight won’t likely happen anytime soon because of Mayweather Jr. insistent of an  Olympic style drug testing to conducted by the US anti doping agency which Mayweather later drop but still insist on a random drug testing. But the proposed fight received another blow when Pacquiao sued Mayweather—along with the American’s father Floyd Sr., his uncle Roger and Golden Boy Promotions for accusing him of using performance -enhancing drugs—in a federal court in Las Vegas.

And in the event that the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather didn’t go through Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum is looking at another fighter to replace Mayweather. It’s either the newly crowned WBA junior middleweight Yuri Foreman or the Italian fighter Paul Malignaggi.

But trainer Freddie Roach would rather see a third fight with the Mexican icon Juan Manuel Marquez.
